I haven't considered lowering it because its main use is doing truck things, like hauling heavy stuff that squishes it and driving over things. Also, the cheapest kit I found in a quick search was $350 to lower the front 2" and rear 4" (which would probably still give me plenty of clearance). Would be a very long time for it to pay off with how much I drive it, even if it helped quite a bit.

My current mod is working quite well; it's driving the truck as little as possible. :P I last filled up over 4 months ago and I still have about 1/3rd of a tank left. I've only put about 2600 miles on the truck since I bought it about a year ago. Clearly even my cheap aeromods are more a labor of love than investments.
